Brad Kothlow is the founder of Atomic Hockey, Director of the Atomic Hockey Academy, a Director with the Port Coquitlam Trailblazers Junior A Club, and a bestselling hockey author.

His work focuses on building development environments that connect biomechanics, skill acquisition, hockey IQ, and modern coaching methodology into a clear, repeatable system for developing players.

At Atomic Hockey, Brad has built a development model designed to remove randomness from player progression. Coaches work from shared technical language, correction cues, teaching principles, and deliberate progressions so athletes receive consistent instruction as they move between coaches, training environments, and stages of development.

His involvement in Junior A hockey provides another perspective on the development pathway—connecting the habits and skills being taught to young athletes with the expectations players eventually face at higher levels of the game.

Brad is also the bestselling author of The Atomic Advantage and The NHL Dream, where he explores player development, offensive hockey, coaching methodology, and how the game continues to evolve.

Beyond Atomic Hockey, Brad works with coaches, academies, and associations to help build development systems that are intentional, scalable, and capable of producing consistency across an entire organization.
